I'm a sucker for a good documentary myself. I tend to go through all the documentaries in Netflix. I'll put up a few suggestions of mine when I get home and can access it. But yeah.. the ones you said, definitely awesome.

Another really good one that I highly recommend.

this was interesting, although it's kinda feels scripted, it's really a must watch if youre into the street art culture

this Doc was a response to Morgan Spurlock's Supersize me, Tom Naughton tries to disprove Spurlock's movie, and proves that you can eat fast food and infact lose weight,
it's a good watch if you have already seen Supersize Me

if you love military Docs then you'd love Restrepo, it chronicles the deployment of a platoon of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistans Korengal Valley.

I like pretty much anything to do with military or weapons. I'm not particular to one certain one.

That's Banksy's film right? I really want to see that! How was it?

My favourite documentary is Alone In Four Walls or Allein in vier Wänden. It is about youth crime in Russia and centres around a youth rehabilitation center. Really good!

Also, 3 Shots That Changed America is about JFK's assassination. Really good. Really well done. It is a minute by minute recount of the days leading up to and after his arrival in Dallas. As a non-American I really enjoyed this but I'm sure Americans would too.

I might need to check out that Alone In Four Walls. That looks like something up my alley. I haven't watched many recently.. but looks like it's something I'll do this weekend.

Off the top of my head... Blue Gold: World Water Wars is an excellent documentary that everyone should watch. Fantastic and terrifying. Absolutely MUST see.

Countdown to Zero is also good.

The wife and I watch at least one a week together. It doesn't matter what type of junk is on the tube, we can always find a good documentary.

Here's a fun one about the Appalachian Trail:

Here's a very interesting doc about the food industry:

Here's a link for one about zombies which I'm sure a lot of you have seen.

It's available to watch streaming on netflix right now so I thought I'd add it.

Paper Heart. A "documentary" about finding love.
American Zombie. A "documentary" about what it's like being a zombie in today's world.
